Perfectly put, Diana !
Lovely pictures! Nice to see you dressed up for the occasion, Simon!! Your individuality is one of the things I love about you, and I bet you were a lot more comfortable than the “bow ties”! I’d love to know who was the lucky recipient of that gorgeous smile in the last picture! Congratulations on winning the award. It is so well deserved!
Congratulations to all winners. Congratulations to Simon Keenlyside. A well deserved win Inci Birsel
